How do I set environment variables?

i am booting puppy from the live cd , and have created a ext2 partion on my hard drive . i downloaded and installed perl. the problem is that i carnt seem to add the /usr/local/ActivePerl-5.6/bin to the $PATH variable. The setenv does not work, and i cant find the .profile in my home directory. I try setvar command but that doesnt even work. hope understand what i am trying to say. how can i do this. thanks.

there is a perl pupget. don;t know how it compares with the version of active-perl you've installed.
There may be a lot of trimming possible from a "standard" perl install to save on disk/memory space_________________Mandriva LE 2005 user and puppy newbie
